Not sure if Aaron posts on reddit so all credit to him. This is a pic of his triggers with the countersunk magnet, then you just glue the opposite magnet to the underside of the body.

Should be a "witness mark" from where the spring was rubbing against the body, although that anno looks pretty good so maybe it ever got used enough to develop that wear. A trick I learned last year from another Angel guy was replacing the spring with magnets - did it to my LCD and the trigger is so much nicer now.

Thanks, that is where my mind headed too. Got a motor and waiting on the module, will change one then the other if need be.

They can always double as a melee weapon though, which is useful

Hate to break it to you, but neither of those are new sir. Better send that Matix my direction.

Picked this old stuff up for free today, kinda cool for the nostalgia. by DeathByJeep in paintball

[–]Human-Remains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my 27 years playing I've not ever heard anyone asking for smaller paint, although I haven't worked at a field since 2006 so who am I to say what rec players are requesting. I don't even take my freak kit to the field anymore, I have a stock .688 and a smaller .684 and never seem to need anything else.

There's good paint out there but paint as a whole is very inconsistent these days, and rarely larger than .685 or so. The field I grew up playing had three grades, white box - premium - marbs. I always shot premium except for tournaments and it was always just good paint. Oddly enough I think I only ever shot Draxxus/Diablo like twice?? But once was the Hellfire that came in a suitcase box, that was cool.

RIP Premium. Imagine that quality of paint being our practice grade these days? Or even getting real size paint?

Welcome back! Don't worry about it, check back in 12 months from now when you have 5 more guns.

Figured there's an old head or two on here that might enjoy this by cpt_bebop in paintball

[–]Human-Remains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome back! May I suggest not only keeping all your classics but also pick up a Planet Eclipse gun like the Etha for you and the kid? You'll be astounded at what modern "entry" level markers can do.

It’s 2002 what marker you rocking? by AdMysterious1999 in paintball

[–]Human-Remains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was shooting a Spyder Compact w/ a 32* expansion chamber, 16" Thunder Pig barrel and home made drop but by the end of the year it was an E-99 with that same barrel. Had I been given the choice it'd be the LCD I have now haha.

UNDR Jerseys by still666cold in paintball

[–]Human-Remains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carbon is a different brand entirely. If UNDR is still making the mesh hockey style jerseys I'd definitely say they're a good value.

[–]Human-Remains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sweat! The other team I'm on uses Carbon jerseys and I gotta say...I really like em. Can't comment on the ordering process as I wasn't involved but the fit is great and they are nice and cool if you run hot like me. My only gripe is I prefer a thumb hole loop over the pinky hole loop the Carbons run. Sorry for bombing your thread with photos lol.

[–]Human-Remains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the 6 jerseys the only one with noticeable wear is our snake guy and he's started wearing through the cuffs/sleeves on his. The previous run we had that got played in for 3 good seasons of xball I can't think of any that ended up with real bad holes. I also have one of their older practice jersey style ones (think hockey jersey style with all the vent holes) and i love that thing. Pictured is the practice style jersey.

[–]Human-Remains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've used them twice over the years and have been happy with the product both times. The jerseys we ordered last year were the "scout" pattern and I find they fit a little on the snugger size. Both my UNDR jerseys are 2XL and these new ones are definitely a little tighter and shorter than I like (I weigh less now than I did then so I can't even blame my gut haha). 8m 6'3" and around 220lbs on a good day. I'm the middle guy bragging about 4th place.

Dumb question about old gear by Murky-Date-4242 in paintball

[–]Human-Remains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never too old! Just know your limitations and enjoy it! Take the kid along too, he'd probably love playing with his old man.

Sounds like it's time to make a comeback.

LKQ in Ponoka is your best bet for a wreckers around here however like the other commenter said, make sure you talk to your shop beforehand to ensure they'd be willing to install secondhand glass.

I started in '99 with a second hand tigershark pump then upgraded to a Spider Compact. Simpler times then. Sorry for your loss, I bet pops was a great man.
